GNCC and the ISDE
A few weeks ago Racer Productions and the AMA announced project GNCC ISDE 2003, a
drive to help America's Team win the 2003 International Six Days Enduro (ISDE) Trophy
Team Title. The U.S.A. has never won the ISDE Trophy Team Title, and support and
interest has waned over the past few years. But Racer Productions and the AMA are out to
change that.
This year's team will feature six of America's best riders: Rodney Smith, Fred
Andrews, Mike Lafferty, Mike Kiedrowski, Jason Raines and Ty Davis. GNCC trail boss
and former ISDE gold medallist Jeff Russell will serve as team manager. Monetary support, usually lacking in this event, will come from GNCC Racing, as well as fund·raising
drives and other Industry sponsors. Racer Productions plans on pushing the project all
season long, and fans are encouraged to support America's Team through the purchase
of souvenir merchandise,
The 2003 ISDE takes place November 3-8 in Forteleza City, Brazil.
